I know it's been a long time since I've posted here. It's been a long time since I was in the mindset to. To be perfectly honest, there hasn't been much running (or working out of any kind) going on around here. I've reverted to the days of the purple face and gasping breath whenever I go for a run (which isn't very often because when I do, it just plain sucks!). I've gained about 15 pounds. And really I have no explanations or excuses that are even worth sharing. But I do have news that IS worth sharing.
As many of you probably know, Kyle and I have signed up for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training Lavaman Triathlon team!! I've been talking about doing a triathlon for years and am soooo excited to finally be doing it. Lavaman is in Kona at the end of March, and the money we raise will go directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help cure blood cancers and improve patient quality of life.
So I've been thinking about doing this for a long time, why now? About six months ago my uncle, Dave, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Follicular Lymphoma. He's gone through chemo and is now doing really well...but I don't want to worry. I want him to stay healthy and strong. Leukemia and Lymphoma Society can help that happen.
